... horrific ones too. There is an English theatre, it's closed at the moment but outside is a cupboard with novels in and on it a sign saying that they are free to take.

We left Hofbräuhaus just before 7, and Dylan wanted to stop at Schneider's for a beer but the lippy waitress said we couldn't stay unless we both drank!
